A Meaningful Place Or Object In My Life

Response: I have an orange toy phone. It can be recorded, and people can listen to it. It was sent in a care package by my family to my orphanage in China, so I could hear my adoptive mom's voice when I was little. The story is that that phone was one of the first things about my family that I got so I knew what they sounded like. Of course now, the phone doesn't work anymore and the recording is long gone. But that was one of my first gifts from America, even before I was two years old. I cherish that phone a lot, knowing what the first thing my adoptive mom wanted me to know about, so I could recognize her voice. 

Summary: Today we read a Navajo story about the creation of the world. There was a lot of symbolism in the story, such as how North is darker than South, or how the Coyote was symbolizing Satan.

Reflection: I am very interested in how the Navajo stories have great symbolism to the Christian stories about creation and destruction.

Writing a poem

Response: I once wrote a poem about my friends. I did it for fun, then turned it into a song. I wrote about inside jokes we had, that we don't have now. I do feel happy about the ending of the poem, but I did lose it and I'm sad about it. When I wrote it, I envisioned everything that I wrote about. Each friend I wrote about, and what it was. I liked it, but my friends didn't because they didn't like being written about. So I did put it away, and now I forget where. Summary: Today in class, we read a poem and then rated ourselves on it. Reflection: I liked seeing how I could improve.

Difference

Response: I am absolutely terrified of space. I don't know why. I used to want to be an aerospace scientist before I got a phobia of space and bacteria. It's the thought of just an empty void in nothingness really sets me off. I'm really scared about what's in the unknown, and I really hope I don't see it again. Summary: Today, we read a poem in class. It was really fun and entertaining. Reflection: I think the poem was really confusing, but still really meaningful and had a lot of depth to it.

Three Goals I Want To Achieve This Year

Response: Three things I want to achieve this year is to learn how to play an instrument, play singles division one or two in tennis, and to get a day job. I love making music, writing lyrics, and songs. But something that I've struggled with is the background music. The instrument I want to learn most is the guitar, so I can play songs I listen to on repeat. And my favorite artist uses the guitar in the songs he makes. When I play tennis, I'm usually in either division one or two doubles, which is a little below average for a player. I want to be able to play at least one singles match, because I work best on the court and off the court alone. And it would really help me with my skill to have that goal in mind. I have a summer job at my pool, but after labor day, it's going to end until next summer. I have gotten a lot of interests recently, and I would like some spending and saving money. I want to try to work at Publix or Chick fil a so I can get money until I can do my ...
